Below are explanations for the four "blue screens" that appeared in Season 2 Episode 16 “Relevance”.

Key[]

Again hex coded ASCII, but additionally two characters have been substituted. The mapping (called key) from Latin to Greek is as follows and applies to all codes from this episode:

0 == Omega (Ω)
a == Sigma (Σ)
b == Delta (Δ)
c == Pi (Π)
d == Gamma (Γ)
e == Phi (Φ)
f == Xi (Ξ)

Substitution:

20 -> 65 (“ ” -> “e”)
50 -> 20 (“P” -> “ ”)

On removing the bandage and dressings, I had now an opportunity of seeing the extent and appearance of the disease. The scalp had ulcerated and sloughed off to the extent of five or six inches in diameter, exposing almost all the upper part of the scull. The insulated piece consisted of the upper and back part of the right and left parietal bones. It extended from the lambdoid suture behind, to within two inches of the coronal suture before. The sagittal suture was seen to run along the middle of this caries, wheh measured transversely five inches, and longitudinally three inches and a half. A great part of the external table of the loose bone had mouldered away, and the dura mater was seen through the trepan-hole, and through many ulcerations in the scull, covered with pale unhealthy granulations. The edges of the scalp were swollen, livid, and painful, and the discharge of pus was profuse, of a dark colour, and very fetid. The insulated piece of bone was immersed in matter, blacke ned on its surface, and incrusted with the discharge. I could easily move this piece of bone a little way upwards or downwards, or to either side, the thin edges of it passing at each movement under the edge, or between the tables of the surrounding bones. It could even be depressed a few degrees, though the resistance to this was very considerable ; nor did the patient complain of any uneasiness. It was this resistance that enabled Lr. Anderson to apply the trepan

It is an excerpt of "Discourse XVII - Of Contusio Cranii (Of caries of the skull)" from "The Principles Of Surgery" by John Bell who is considered one of the founders of modern surgery.

Summary: An infected skull fracture is described. It has been treated by trepanning, cutting a circular hole in the skull to relieve the pressure caused by the swelling of the brain.

Converted back into ascii text this is (a complete conversion):

In excessive fractures (says Dionis) we should not hesitate to make two, three, or four perforations, if required. A young girl, of eleven or twelve years of age, having, by a fall down stairs, fractured the whole of the parietal with a part of the temporal bone, Mr. Marechal trepaned her next day in two places: he made his son trepan her a third time; he allowed my son, who was present, to trepan her a fourth time : the next day, applied the trepan twice more, and in the end had actually perforated twelve times, and cured her completely. So precious an example shows how little reason we have to be surprised dt the frequent application of the trepan." Here is a doctrine laid down, which, I fear, there is little occasion to enforce ; and I cannot but persist in being surprised and shocked, at the frequent and large perforations which I have both read of and seen, and cannot but think of these veterans in surgery in no very amiable light, when I see them indulging their boys in the novelty of operating, probably on very slight compulsion. These reports, and especially the last clause of this paragraph, viz. " that we should not be surprised at the number of trepans," have plainly a reference to the ever memorable operation performed in the time of King William's wars, on hilip Count of Nassau, by Henry Chadborn, chirurgeon. Godifredus, chief surgeon to the Ckates of Holland, mentions with particular exultation this operation performed by his f

Apparently another excerpt from "Discourse XVIII - Of Fractures Of The Scull - Section 1" from the "The Principles Of Surgery" by John Bell.

Summary: John Bell discusses trepanning (boring a hole in the skull to treat a skull fracture). Although some authorities encourage trepanning as many as a dozen times, Bell thinks that trepanning is used too often and is sometimes done simply to give the surgeon's apprentices ("boys") practice in the operation.

If you use the key from code 2-4 to translate code 6 image into byte form, there is a lot additional substituting necessary.

6e -> 6f ("n" -> "o") \ buffer needed: e -> x; f -> e; x -> f
6f -> 6e ("o" -> "n") /
6d -> 6b ("m" -> "k")
6c -> 6d ("l" -> "m")
6b -> 6c ("k" -> "l")

20 -> 65 (" " -> "e")
3d -> 3b ("=" -> ";")
4e -> 4f ("N" -> "O")
5a -> 20 ("Z" -> " ")
2a -> 20 ("*" -> " ")
2b -> 2c ("+" -> ",")
2c -> 2d ("," -> "-")
2f -> 2e ("/" -> ".")

The substitution can be done manually by hand, or e.g. with notepad and its replace function (win: Ctrl+H). Alternatively it's possible to write a program to do this, but the time required to do so is out of proportion.

e.g. in Python:

orig_str  = '4e6f5a72206c6e76696f675a7468205a62616f646167205a616f645a6472'
orig_str += '207373696f67732b5a495a6861645a6f6e775a616f5a6e70706e7274756f'
orig_str += '6974795a6e665a732020696f675a7468205a207874206f745a616f645a61'
orig_str += '7070206172616f63205a6e665a7468205a646973'

# in case orig_str was typed with : delimiters
orig_str = orig_str.replace(':', '')

import binascii
decoded = binascii.unhexlify(orig_str)
#print decoded

# not a complete substitution map
substitution_map = {
    'Z': ' ',
    'o': 'n',
    'n': 'o',
    ' ': 'e',
    'l': 'm',
    'N': 'O',
    '+': ',',
    ',': '-',
    'k': 'l',
    'm': 'k',
    }

decoded2 = [ decoded[i] if decoded[i] not in substitution_map else
    substitution_map[decoded[i]] for i in range(0,len(decoded)) ]

print ''.join(decoded2)
